During Use / Regularly inspect and monitor the condition of
the product and the connectors of the climbing system. Ensure
all components of the equipment are correctly positioned with
respect to each other.
Detailed Inspection / In addition to inspection before, during,
and after each use, a detailed inspection by a competent
inspector must be done at least every 12 months or more fre-
quently depending on factors such as legislation, equipment
type, frequency of use, environmental conditions. The safety of
the users depends on the continued efficiency and durability
of the equipment. Periodic detailed examinations are to be
done by a competent inspection person, strictly in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions. Make a copy of these
instructions and use one as the permanent inspection record.
4 \ COMPATIBILITY
It is very important that the principles in this guide are
followed, and that care is given when selecting the correct an-
chor line. Different types of anchor lines may change the safe
function of the device. It is also important to be aware that the
characteristics of the anchor line may change in use, especially
due to wear , humidity, dirt or repeated descents over the same
part of the anchor line within a short period of time.
Verify the product is compatible with other components of
the system in the application (compatible = good functioning
interaction).
Equipment used with the Rope Runner Pro must meet the
appropriate standards in your country. Compliance outside of
EU: Approved with the use of arborist grade ropes. EU com-
pliance: in accordance with CE marking, only 11mm - 13mm
16
ropes which meet EN 1891:1998 Type A shall be used. When
using multiple pieces of equipment as a system, instructions
for each piece of equipment must be followed. This equipment
is not suitable for use in a fall arrest system unless the system
itself conforms to other relevant standards. A full body harness
is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used
in a fall arrest system. It is essential for safety to verify the
free space required beneath the user before each occasion of
use, so that, in case of a fall, there will be no collision with the
ground or other obstacle in the fall path.
WARNING: Product performance can be affected by
environmental factors, condition of rope, and condition of the
Rope Runner Pro. Follow steps listed in "Function Principle &
Load Test" to test rope and verify the friction setting before
climbing.
Testing to Technical specification No. 53420-2021 was done
using 13mm Edelrid Direction Up with 130kg mass using
friction setting 3 and 11mm Tuefelberger Fly with 130kg mass
and friction setting 1.
Rope Runner Pro is ONLY compatible with double locking
carabiners according to EN 362:2004 or EN 12775:2013.
For optimal performance use of oval shaped carabiners is
recommended.
5 \ INSTALLATION
• Position the Rope Runner Pro with the Main
Attachment Point facing towards you.
• Depress both Stainless Steel Slic Pin metal tabs allowing
the pin to pass through one side plate of the Bird assembly.
It is unnecessary to completely remove the quick pin from
the Bird assembly.
• Insert the rope between the Slic Pin and the Adjustable
Upper Bollard (Fig 5A). Ensure rope is passed over (top
section) of the Adjustable Upper Bollard.
• Close and secure the Slic Pin by pressing the Slic Pin
through the side plate. Ensure both metal tabs of the Slic
Pin clear the side plate (Fig 5B).
WARNING: If both pin tabs do not clear the side plate,
do not use the Rope Runner Pro. The Slic Pin must be fully
inserted, engaged, and uninhibited by any rope
fibers to ensure proper security. Failure to do so could lead to
product failure causing serious injury or death. (Fig 5C)
• Open the Lever Lock Arm by depressing both Aluminum Slic
Pin metal tabs allowing the pin to pass through one side of
